RFT2, BVVLS, RFVT3, hRFT2, BVVLS1, C20orf54, bA371L19.1, Solute carrier family 52, riboflavin transporter, member 3, Riboflavin transporter 2, SLC52A3
Transporter for riboflavin, which must be obtained as a nutrient via intestinal absorption. Riboflavin transport is Na(+)-independent at low pH but significantly reduced by Na(+) depletion under neutral pH conditions. Activity is strongly inhibited by riboflavin analogs, such as lumiflavin, flavin mononucleotide (FMN), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), by methylene blue, and to a lesser extent by amiloride.
